Thursday 14th July.
Hi all, lovely walk along the Breydon wall today, thanks to Jules, Carol and Lynn and Phil for joining us!!
Started out from Haven bridge, walked along the Angles Way through the
edge of Cobholm between houses and the riverside, across a grassy area
and past an old sail loft, and up onto the embankment or Breydon Wall,
walked under Breydon Bridge, once away from the bridge the sights and
sounds of Breydon were all around, Oyster Catchers plaintive call, Whimbrell
high purring call,smell of seaweed, and the water lapping against the
shore, the odd cruiser puttering past, even on a sunny day the wind in
places could be a bit chill, but truly beautiful, views across Breydon
with some birds feeding on the mud flats, slightly exposed by low tide,
and behind us green fields and meadows, with Highland cattle and ponies
in the distance, swifts and swallows were swooping low feeding off
insects, Skylarks were trilling to each other high above us, we saw
oyster Catchers, Whimbrel, Curlew, Redshank, a treat on the way back saw
a Redshank with fluffy chick, (looking forward to Lynns and Jules
photos!!) We saw Little Egrets, shining white with their tufty heads
looking like something from the African Plains.
We stopped for a
picnic behind a Blackberry bush rested a while watching the Swallows and
Swifts catching insect above the Meadows.
Out of the wind were lots
of Blue Tail Damselflies, we saw Brown Hawker Dragonflies, plenty of
Small White, Large White, Meadow Brown, and a couple of Small
Tortoiseshell Butterflies,.
Not realising how far we had come, we
realised we had to turn back reluctantly, and make our way back, all in
all a lovely day, saw lots of nature, with lovely company thankyou!!!.
Discussing our next walk, maybe a bus trip to Potter Heigham, and
making our way to Hickling round the back paths.
